Chris300 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Nice talking to you today Craig. Sorry I missed you Joely. The guys I went with were very impressed with the display, as said you done the 300zx proud. Hope I will be able to represent the 300 myself soon.

Mondo Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Nice short video from Retro Japanese showing our stand and other Jap stands. I've just watched this vid and I have a genuine question... How on earth have we been relegated to a smaller stand than last year when the Nissan Figaro (are they even any kind of classic car??) gets a huge stand comparatively?! Surely, as the Z32's profile rises (thanks to shows like this, Joel's tireless magazine features and the recent article that Jimmer contributed to), we should be getting more stand space, not less! I'm genuinely interested in the reasoning behind this. Can anyone shed any light at all....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnyboy Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 And next to our stand was about 4or five surpras but it gives the impression they are rare mind you there was 3gtos probably 10started off and only 3made it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't have a stand at all this year but at the last moment we had a chance of this small stand so we took it. The stands are free if you get one but I think you can pay for a larger stand.

Mmm.... its £££ signs nothing more, and could the guy filming have moved past the club stand any quicker ? jeez thought he had hit the fast forward button ?? disappointing for you guys, be inclined to ditch that video.

AndrewG Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Assorted pictures from my visit to the show yesterday with Howard. Great to meet everyone who was there and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Well done to Joel and Craig for presenting their cars in such a great light. Small stand maybe but told a good story. 1 Quote She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went - Simply irresistible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont be so negative Jeff the glass is half full not half empty :biggrin: To be fair, the guy that filmed that is responsible for helping us raise the profile of the car as he is the editor of Retro Japanese magazine. He is very involved in the classic car scene of many other variants too and likes to do these quick walk round videos of his various tastes!

JaiKai Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Wondering this too. They have had a huge stand for the last few years and usually have less on it than what we show.

How on earth have we been relegated to a smaller stand than last year... I'm genuinely interested in the reasoning behind this. Can anyone shed any light at all....? And the Classic Z Register got knocked back for the first time in 20 odd years There were a number of clubs that were knocked back apparently, and also a few that only got allocated at the last minute like us. There was less hall space as well this year, as the pavilion was not being used. Wondering this too. They have had a huge stand for the last few years and usually have less on it than what we show. Joel and I had a discussion about this, and also discussed it with the Supra guys as well. One of the application questions relates to the number of paying members, but I think some of the clubs maybe enter the number of registered members, not necessarily if they pay subscriptions etc. Or maybe those clubs genuinely do have more paying members than us. So if there are more 'members', the organisers possibly give a bit more space because they expect more members to turn up, as more members to buy the discounted tickets. So on the next application form, I think we will use the number of registered members not subscribed members, and see where that gets us. The Supra guys are hoping for a larger stand next year for their 25th anniversary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
